U.S. Postal Service Gulf Atlantic District Manager David Martin announced Friday that a mobile retail van has been opened to assist Tybee Island, Georgia, customers who are picking up their mail after Hurricane Matthew caused the temporary closure of the Post Office.

“Customers may pick up their mail at the retail van and purchase retail items with cash,” said Martin. “We have added the retail van and additional employees to provide faster mail pick up for our customers.”

Repairs of the Tybee Island Post Office are expected to take approximately six weeks.
